Filed under: PC, MMO

that week was a mixed bag of news from the MMO front. We finally were notified of some forward movement on the Warhammer 40K MMO (not to be confused with Warhammer Online) and there was a rumor that filtered out that Bioware’s new MMO is not a Star Wars MMO. And in even more awesome news, we’re looking for MMOre to join in the fun of being a blogger for Massively! On the poor news side, Marvel Universe Online is definitely vaporware. Sorry Spidey, looks it’s back to the comic books with you — but hey, at least they ret-conned your world back to normal!
